any commend on following news? ========================================== Micron sampling DDR SDRAM chips BOISE, Idaho--Micron Technology Inc. announced here today that it is shipping samples of 64-megabit double-data-rate SDRAM chips. The technology is widely seen as the next step for computer main memory, and moves data twice as fast as standard SDRAM devices. "DDR SDRAM is a higher bandwidth memory solution than standard SDRAM and its interface technology allows for faster data rates in PC systems," said Jeff Mailloux, DRAM marketing manager. Micron's DDR devices run at a 143-MHz clock speed, with data rates of 286 megabits per second. The company states the chips deliver total memory bandwidth of more than 2 gigabytes per second in PC applications. IBM Corp. is one of the first companies that will evaluate the devices. Although high-speed Rambus memory technology is seen as the next major evolutionary step in the memory market, it is not predicted to see widescale use for at least another year. In the meantime, several manufacturers are pushing forward with DDR SDRAM development. Micron will produce the faster chips using the same equipment the company uses to make standard SDRAM, which will allow the company to rapidly ramp production of the devices when the market develops. "We anticipate that DDR SDRAM will be widely used in high-end server and workstation applications," said Mailloux. "As chip sets and other infrastructure are developed, we believe these advanced DRAMs will also be used in high-end PC applications."
